The clip shows Chelsea collecting Pete with her then-boyfriend, now husband Cole DeBoer. At one point in the video, the reality star can be heard saying, “We have a child now.” She then added, “Don’t make me be a single mom again,” to which Cole said he wouldn’t.

Along with the picture and video, Chelsea’s post continued her tribute to her late pet. She wrote, “I’m not great with words, which is why I usually like to keep it simple, but this felt like one of those times I needed to at least try to elaborate how I was feeling.”

Chelsea did elaborate, writing that Pete’s passing was “a tremendous loss” to her family. She explained, ”I think this one stings extra because Pete symbolized more than just a pet. Pete symbolized a new chapter in mine and Aubree’s life.” Chelsea was referring to her daughter, who had first met Pete when she was young. 

Cole Shared Aubree and Chelsea’s Love for Pete

In her post, Chelsea went on to say, “I have dreamed of having a farm for a very very long time.” She continued, “I dreamed of having a big family, a loving husband, and a farm full of funny animals. Pete was the first.”

She went on to talk about how much her husband supported her dream of owning farm animals. Chelsea said, “Cole was totally on board with my silly idea of getting a pig.” She explained, “We now have a silly little farm, with many funny animals and a handful more kids – everything I dreamed of having.

But the MTV alumni couldn’t help but mourn the loss of “the first” addition to her farmyard family, Pete. She ended her tribute by writing, “I hope there’s endless belly scratches in heaven.”

The outlet shared that the day after Chelsea shared her post, her husband also took to social media to pay his respects. 

He wrote on his Instagram account, “We say goodbye to a member of our family. Pete was a piece of our beginning.” Cole added that he and their pet pig shared “a daily bond that I cherished for almost 10 years and will never forget.” He finished his post admitting that “this one really hurts” and described Pete as “an everyday piece of my life.” 

Among the pictures Cole posted was one of Chelsea’s daughter Aubree with Pete as he lay on his side for a “chance for a belly scratch.”

Although they are grieving the loss of their beloved pet, Cole and Chelsea still have many others to take care of at their farmhouse. The couple are continuing to build their dream home while raising four kids, as seen on their reality show Down Home Fab.

KT Smith Update After Morgan Wallen Breakup

Morgan Wallen’s ex-fiance and baby mama, KT Smith, has faced many changes and challenges in 2023.

She was born Katie Dell Smith in Key West, Florida. KT and Morgan got engaged in 2019, but their romantic relationship was over just a year later. She’s also the mother of his son, three-year-old Indigo Wilder Wallen.

From a new boyfriend in her life to a serious car accident, KT has experienced many ups and downs this year.

KT’s Adopted Dog Bit Her Son, Indigo

According to the US Sun, Indigo went through a traumatic situation earlier this year that involved the family dog, Legend. On June 18, 2023, Legend bit Indigo in the face.

KT revealed in an Instagram story that she had to rush her son to the emergency room. She wrote, in part, that Indigo “had to have stitches, and we spent yesterday morning at the emergency room.”

Thankfully, KT also revealed that her son would be “ok,” but the dog bite and subsequent stitches on his face might leave Indigo with a small scar.

The US Sun reported that KT expressed gratitude for her followers in her post on social media. She wrote, “Thank you guys again for helping but for also crying with me and lifting me up.”

KT is focused on being the best mother to Indigo, but she’s also revealed that she and Legend “kind of saved each other” after KT rescued Legend, a Great Pyrenees dog, in April 2022.

KT Rehomed Legend

After Legend bit her son, KT was left with a devastating decision. She wrote on social media, “What the world tells you to do is to put the dog down because they are aggressive.” But KT also wrote that Legend “does not deserve that because he is wonderful and could do really great with a family who doesn’t have small children.”

KT revealed that Legend is not aggressive towards older kids or adults. In fact, she believes that having a young child like Indigo in the home frightened the dog and caused him to react by biting.

The outlet shared that KT took action and found a local family who said they would love to accept Legend into their home. She wrote, “We just dropped Legend off with the sweetest family.”

It turns out that Legend’s new family lives on a farm close to where KT lives in east Tennessee. KT wrote that Legend “will be living out his full potential and best life on a farm.” She also said that she and Indigo will be free to visit Legend anytime they need to.

KT Is Thankful to Be Alive Following Her Car Crash

On February 22, 2023, KT experienced another scary situation. KT was involved in a bad car accident in Nashville. Fox News reported that she explained what happened on Instagram with a shocking post and graphic images.

Her car was totaled in the accident, and KT suffered facial injuries. According to the outlet, she wrote on social media, “thankful to be alive.”

KT also tagged her friends Gabriella Payant and Caden McGuire in her post, as Caden and Gabriella were allegedly with KT in her car when the accident happened.

She also wrote that a doctor had been in the area directly after the crash. KT said that the doctor told her that she and her friends “shouldn’t be alive.”

After they were taken by ambulance to the hospital, KT revealed that Caden sat in her hospital room and prayed with her. Even though, as KT wrote on social media, Caden was “not even completely stitched up” yet.

After the Accident, KT Looked Like a Demogorgan

KT shared images of her face as she lay in her hospital bed on Instagram. It was clear to see that the right side of her face was severely swollen and bruised. She even found the courage to joke about her injuries, calling herself a “demogorgan” in one photo of her injuries.

In the comments, KT explained what happened, writing, “Some semi ran a red light and demolished us.” Fox News reported that KT confirmed she had been behind the wheel of her car that night.

She also admitted to being confused about why the right side of her body had been more badly injured than her left side. She wrote online, “My face is basically broken, and I can’t walk on my right side.”

But KT had a theory about the accident. It appears that her vehicle rolled multiple times after being hit by the semi-truck. She wrote, “It must have been from spinning so many times or the airbags.”

Thankfully, KT appears to have healed fully by June 2023.

According to Taste of Country, she posted a photo on social media showing herself with a blue bandage on her cheek. KT uploaded this photo, along with a few other images, to update us on Indigo’s progress after his dog bite injury. She calls her little boy indie and revealed that she was wearing “matching face bandaids” with her “lil man so he feels normal.”

KT also shared a sweet picture of Legend in his new home. She wrote that legend had “taken over the bed at his new home and is loving the goats so far.”

Morgan and KT Get Along for the Sake of Her Son

But KT revealed even more personal details last June. She’s been dating a new boyfriend named Luke Scornavacco. After she had to rehome Legend, Luke gave KT a special gift.

She took a picture of what he gave to her. Taste of Country shared the photo KT uploaded to social media with the caption, “And for the most thoughtful angel of a boyfriend.” 

The photo shows framed photos of KT and Luke and KT and Legend. Luke had also gifted KT with beautiful flowers.

Morgan has spoken with People Magazine about how he and KT get along now for the sake of their son, saying, “We’re doing our best to figure it out, just trying to do the best we can with the situation.”

Her new boyfriend, Luke, is in the public eye for the same reason as Morgan. He rose to fame on TikTok because of his musical talent. Luke currently has over 800,000 followers.

Luke Scornavacco and KT Are Popular on Social Media

The 21-year-old met KT when they started messaging back and forth on Instagram. They began dating officially sometime between the summer and fall of 2023.

Luke enjoys posting TikTok videos that feature KT. He even uploaded a tribute music video for a Hayden Coffman song where he and KT dance around together.

Luke is also a big fan of Morgan. He’s posted cover versions of some Morgan songs on his TikTok.

Born and raised in Colorado, Luke has since moved to Nashville for personal and professional reasons. He wants to take a shot at country music stardom. Luke also moved to Tennessee to be closer to KT and Indigo, who live in Knoxville.

The pair are both popular on social media. KT does more than just modeling and being an influencer. Her blog is still active, and she uses her blog platform to inform and inspire readers to be better versions of themselves.

Although they’ve had setbacks this year, life looks bright for KT and Indigo.

Morgan Wallen Lashes Out at New Version of His EP

Did you know that Morgan Wallen just released new music? 

Morgan is speaking out. He’s alleging that this is old music being released in January by an old record label. Morgan does not approve. He claims that the tracks being released are ten years old and that this is being done against his wishes.

Morgan explained the situation on Instagram, as reported by the source, Countrytown.

In 2014, Morgan said he went to Florida to try his hand at making original music and songwriting for the first time in his career. He met a person in Florida that he called a “local investor.” He signed a record deal and an “artist management deal” with this person.

RELATED: Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean’s Plane Makes Emergency Landing

Morgan now says he “deeply regrets” that decision. He also said, “Unfortunately, I signed both deals without any legal representation.”

While he was under contract with his old label, Morgan said, “We made 13 songs.” He gave his honest opinion about those old songs. Morgan said, “Some were ok,” but he claimed, “Most were terrible as I was just learning how to write in general and figuring it all out.”

Morgan revealed he was not the only collaborator on this old music. So he said, “Many of these songs were not my idea nor to my standards.” Morgan claimed, “We deemed five worthy enough to make the Stand Alone EP.”

Morgan’s Ex-label Is Releasing a 10th Aniversary Edition of Stand Alone

He admitted that the Stand Alone EP does contain a “fan favorite” called “Spin You Around.” Morgan announced that he is releasing a new version of “Spin You Around.”

After giving the backstory, Morgan revealed why he’s unhappy with his ex-label for releasing old music now. He wrote, “These colleagues I parted ways with almost ten years ago plan to release a ‘10th Anniversary’ edition of Stand Alone.” The scheduled release is sometime on January 26th on major digital streaming platforms.

Morgan also said the ‘10th Anniversary’ edition contains eight previously unreleased songs. This old music is being distributed with the assistance of Morgan’s former managers.

Morgan clearly stated that he had tried to stop this release from happening. He wrote, “For months, I’ve been exploring every avenue possible to acquire the rights to this old music and keep the quality of my catalog consistent with songs I choose to release and believe in.”

Morgan Is Taking Some Downtime

Morgan described this as “an example of how the dark side of the music business can suck the soul out of artists.” He also described this situation as “gross and greedy.”

Morgan spoke directly to his followers. He wrote, “I want you to know this is NOT my new music.” He claimed he didn’t want to see this happen to “anyone else.”

Morgan said he cringes when he listens to the songs on that 10th Anniversary edition. He’s also concerned that fans will mistakenly believe the material is a new release.

Morgan did have some good news to share on social media. He wrote that he will begin to record his next project at the end of February. Morgan wrote, “I’m feeling inspired creatively and super excited to make more music I’m proud of.”

He mentioned that he’s taking some downtime. He’s going duck hunting in the woods before recording new music.

Morgan also announced a special project with his new version of “Spin You Around.” Morgan wrote that while he’s “in the woods duck hunting,” an artist will design cover art for his new version of “Spin You Around.”

Wallen Plans to Release New Music in 2024

If you didn’t know, Morgan also runs a foundation.

Countrytown reported that Morgan is donating $100,000 from the Morgan Wallen Foundation to the VLPA program. This stands for Volunteer Lawyers and Professionals For The Arts.

Morgan wants “young, aspiring musicians” to read what happened to him. He believes that no one should have to give up their creative freedom just to get an opportunity in the music business. Young musicians can look at Morgan’s success in country music and be inspired.

His album, One Thing at a Time, contained an astonishing 36 tracks. The day that album was released, it broke a record in the U.S. that was previously held by the R&B superstar Drake. The outlet explained that Morgan broke the record when all 36 tracks on One Thing at a Time entered the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously.

The album also ended a streak by Metallica that lasted over three decades. For 32 years, every new Metallica release had debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart, but One Thing at a Time ended that streak.

Morgan is popular around the globe, too. Last year in Australia, he broke a record previously held by Billy Ray Cyrus for the longest-running number one in the country. Morgan traveled down under to celebrate his success.

Now, country music fans worldwide can look forward to brand-new music from Morgan in 2024.

Fat Joe has addressed Nelly and Ashanti’s rekindled romance. According to Complex, the rapper credited himself for the pair getting back together during an Instagram Live.

He explained that he brought Nelly out to New York City for his Verzuz performance with Ja Rule. Ashanti was invited too, and she and Nelly sang their 2002 hit single What’s Luv?

The duo ended their performance with a hug. Fat Joe said that when they saw each other, that energy connected again.

Complex reported that he also talked about how he’d recently Facetimed with Nelly and Ashanti, saying they looked ‘happily ever after’ together. He mentioned that he’d heard the rumor that Ashanti is pregnant and then joked that he needed 10 percent of their kid because if it wasn’t for him, they wouldn’t have met up again.

He went on to say that it was at his event that Nelly said he had to have her. The outlet shared that he was contemplating and he really wanted to go over to her.

According to Fat Joe, he eventually went to speak to Ashanti, and that’s what started the conversation between them. He also added that he didn’t know why they’d fallen out in the first place.

Nelly’s Presence Was a Shock for Ashanti

Ashanti gave her version of events when she went on The Angie Martinez Show. She said that the crazy part was that Fat Joe didn’t say anything to her.

She later asked him why he hadn’t told her that Nelly was going to be at the Verzuz event. Fat Joe reportedly said that it was because he couldn’t risk her not coming if she knew he was going to be there.

Ashanti confessed that Nelly’s presence was a shock for her. It was very unexpected; she hadn’t seen or spoken to him in six years or more. She admitted that it was a little awkward.

In early 2023, HipHopDX reported that a side-by-side photo shared on social media of Ashanti and Nelly wearing matching chains had sparked dating rumors.

Months later, an article in People Magazine talked about how those rumors were reignited after a video of them holding hands began circulating online.

Then, in May, Atlanta Black Star claimed that there was online speculation about how Ashanti could be pregnant.

She was performing in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino Resort when Nelly surprised her on stage. The source reported that Twitter users commented on a video of the performance, saying that it looked like Ashanti had a baby bump.

In September, the pair officially confirmed that they were back together. After getting a new car from Ashanti for his Birthday, Nelly shared a photo of it on Instagram.

Kailyn Lowry’s Twins NICU Update

Kailyn Lowry just spoke out about her experience with her newborn twins being in the NICU. She opened up about this on the January 26th episode of her podcast Barely Famous where the guest was her boyfriend, Elijah Scott. 

She has explained, on a previous episode of the same podcast, that the twins were born prematurely. They were born five weeks early and were admitted to the NICU. On this week’s episode, Kailyn went into more detail about the details of their NICU stay.

She explained that the twins went straight to the NICU after their birth. She said she and Elijah didn’t get the chance to hold the babies until more than 24 hours later. Kailyn went on to explain that the twins’ stay in the NICU wasn’t just for a couple of days; they had to stay there for several weeks. 

Kailyn’s Daughter Didn’t Show Signs of Hunger

She also explained that she found some things very concerning during that time. Kailyn hasn’t announced the names of her twins yet, but she has said that one of them is a boy and one is a girl. It was her daughter in particular that she was most worried about during their NICU stay. 

She explained that the twins’ behavior and symptoms at the time were significantly different from each other. Especially worrying to Kailyn was the fact that her daughter didn’t show signs of hunger.

She said that her daughter would sleep all the time and wouldn’t even wake up when it was time for feeding. Kailyn explained that this was something she had never seen before in her life. She said that she tried feeding her daughter but she just wouldn’t take the bottle. 

RELATED: Kailyn Lowry Shared Estranged Mom Update on Her Podcast

This was especially worrying to Kailyn because, at that same time, her son didn’t have the same problem. She said he had no problem waking up for feeding and would drink from a bottle. 

What made her really concerned for her daughter was the fact that both of the twins were in the NICU for some of the same reasons. Later, when her son was released from the NICU, the situation also became logistically difficult for her and Elijah. She explained that her son was released first, while her daughter had to stay in the NICU for a while longer.

Elijah and Kailyn Spent Hours at The Hospital

That meant she and Elijah had one newborn at home that they had to take care of, along with their five older kids. At the same time, they still had another newborn at the hospital.

Kailyn and Elijah explained that this was especially difficult because the hospital was an hour’s drive away from their home. Elijah said that every day, at least one of them would travel to the hospital to be with their daughter.

Kailyn said that when she visited, she would spend hours there with her. That left Elijah to care for their other baby, as well as all the other kids by himself.

Kailyn explained that she was also concerned about how the situation didn’t allow her daughter to bond properly with everyone. Her daughter was forced to spend time apart from her twin, and Kailyn couldn’t bond with her as well as she wanted to, either. She said that she even broke down about the situation while at the hospital one time.

Eventually, even her daughter was released from the NICU. At present, she and Elijah have both of the twins at home. Kailyn said that since her daughter came home, her bonding experience with her has been much better. 

She explained that there are still worries that she hasn’t fully resolved. For example, the fact that the twins’ bond with each other was strained by having to spend so much time apart. Kailyn said that she was working to fix that, and overall, things seem to be looking up for her family.

Who Is Gypsy Rose’s Sister Mia?

Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s sister Mia has been EVERYWHERE lately…

But where did she come from?Why wasn’t she harmed by Gypsy’s mom, too?And why has she been talking about Gypsy so much? Does she want fame by publicly associating with her sister now after all these years?

When Mia started popping out everywhere and talking about her sister, many people had questions: Like – where was she all this time? How did Gypsy Rose really feel about her sister? And did she also suffer at the hands of Gypsy’s mom, Dee Dee?

Did Mia Blanchard and Gypsy Rose Grow Up Together?

Well, the truth is that she didn’t, because she and Gypsy are actually half-sisters. Dee Dee isn’t Mia’s mom. Rod Blanchard, Gypsy’s dad, is Mia’s dad.

Rod and Dee Dee got together when he was still in high school. He was 17, while Dee Dee was already 24. She got pregnant just a couple of months into their relationship. They got married and had Gypsy. Unfortunately, Rod soon realized that he didn’t actually love Dee Dee.

He left her and he met his current wife, Kristy. Kristy and Rod got married and they had two kids together – Mia and Dylan. Mia was born in 2001, which means that she’s only 22 years old.

Her sister Gypsy is about 10 years older than her, but they still seem to have a really strong bond.

After Gypsy was released from prison, her family threw her a welcome party. Mia shared some photos from that party on her Instagram, including a photo of her and Gypsy standing close together and smiling. In the caption, Mia wrote: “the sweetest hello, welcome home sister.”

Gypsy then actually also shared the photo of her and Mia on her Instagram, and she captioned the post with “sister love.”

Is There More to Gypsy Rose and Mia’s Relationship?

So it’s clear that these two appear to have a loving relationship and to be happy to be reunited after all these years. But is Mia actually just happy to have her sister back? Or is there something more to it all? Could she be chasing the spotlight?

Like I said, Rod and Kristy had two kids together…Mia and Dylan…

What’s interesting is that Dylan isn’t really in the spotlight at all. He’s not super active on social media or anything like that. Mia, on the other hand, IS pretty active, and she’s also been sharing her thoughts and opinions on Gypsy’s life.

But why are the siblings so different? Is it just because Dylan prefers to keep his life private, while Mia is more outgoing?Or does Mia secretly want fame?

It’s honestly hard to say…

Because some of the things she’s said about Gypsy are a little strange…

Mia Has Made Comments About Gypsy Rose’s Husband

For example, she publicly admitted that she wished Gypsy wouldn’t have married her husband so soon. Gypsy married Ryan Scott Anderson in 2022. She was still serving time back then. So, when she was released, she was ready to start her married life with Ryan right away.

And apparently, Mia wasn’t a huge fan of that idea. “I kind of wish she would have just waited so she can live at home with mom and dad. It would be easier for family time,” she said.

Mia added that it would be easier for her and Dylan to create a bond with Gypsy if she lived with them instead of Ryan. She said that they were robbed of that bond and it’s just not going to be the same as if she lived with them after her release.

Rod and Kristy seemingly agreed with this. Mia admitted to all this in a Lifetime docuseries titled “The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.” And honestly, this part of what she had to say about Gypsy and Ryan’s marriage was kind of understandable.

She WAS still saying that she wished Gypsy wouldn’t have married someone she loved, but you can see why she would feel that way. She just wanted time with her sister, even if it was a little weird for her to speak out against her sister’s marriage.

But this wasn’t all that Mia had to say about it, and the other thing she said was kind of strange too…

“She doesn’t know what it’s like to live with a man and I’m just worried it’ll end in divorce,” she added. I understand why this might’ve been a worry for Mia, but why would she say this publicly?Why not just share her worries with Gypsy instead of calling her out like that?

I feel like she should’ve been a little more supportive of Gypsy. And this definitely made me think that she could just be interested in the spotlight.

But Mia then explained her statement a little more: “I don’t want to make her feel like I don’t support her or that she’s still being controlled, but I never met him.”

I feel like that explains a lot…As Gypsy’s sister, Mia probably felt protective of her, and she didn’t know if she could trust this man that she’d never even met before. After she finally met him, she said that she felt more at ease about the whole thing.

She said that she was still worried that this was all happening too fast, but at the end of the day, she didn’t want to keep Gypsy from doing anything. She just wanted her to live her life — because she still had a whole life to experience… after everything that happened.

Mia Is Aware That Gypsy Was Robbed of a Childhood

It seems like, while Mia had her reservations about the marriage, she did her best to support Gypsy, and she appears to be aware of what Gypsy’s life looked like before she went to prison, and how important it is that Gypsy has her freedom now. Which is something she didn’t really have even before she received her sentence.

Mia actually spoke out about the sentence, too. In the docuseries, she said that she thought that 10 years was too long. Mia said that she agreed that Gypsy deserved to be in jail, but she also deserved to get help. She also seems to be aware of the fact that her and Gypsy’s childhoods looked entirely different.

“I got to grow up with a loving father and a loving mother, I got to grow up going to school with my friends, hanging out with my friends, learning to do all these things and she never had that,” she said, adding that all of this was taken away from Gypsy by Dee Dee.

And it’s clear that she feels bad for her sister and what happened to her. Maybe this is why she’s so outspoken about Gypsy these days. It’s not because she wants to be in the spotlight, but because she wants to stand up for her sister and make her feel loved.

This includes being worried about her when she’s making huge decisions, like getting married to someone her family doesn’t really know.

Mia Is Active On Instagram And She Is Studying Nursing

If you go to Mia’s Instagram, you’ll also see that she’s been pretty active on there for YEARS at this point, so it’s not like she’s only on social media now because of Gypsy and the opportunity to gain more followers.

Mia has always posted photos of herself and her life, so maybe she’s just really comfortable in the spotlight anyway, and that’s why she’s not afraid to speak up for and about Gypsy right now.

I do really think that she has her sister’s best interest in mind. She’s also a young woman. Like I said, she’s only 22 years old, so it makes sense for her to enjoy the attention and be active on social media.

Mia is also studying nursing at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, so, she clearly has her own career ambitions.

Amber Portwood Reveals New Boyfriend

Amber Portwood from Teen Mom has a new boyfriend, and things are getting serious between the two of them. Us Weekly spoke to someone close to Amber, and the source revealed details about her new man.

His name is Gary; he is in his late 30s. Amber will turn 34 this May, which means she and Gary are of a similar age.

Unlike Amber, Gary doesn’t have any children of his own. But according to the Us Weekly insider, he is very family-oriented, as he takes care of his parents.

Amber and Gary have reportedly been dating for about four months now. They met on a dating app. At this stage, they are still trying to get to know each other, but according to the source, things are getting serious.

Gary lives in Amber’s hometown – Indianapolis, Indiana.

The source told Us Weekly that he is different from Amber’s exes. This is mostly because he’s never seen Teen Mom. The insider said: “All the guys Amber has dated before she met on social media and were fans of the show.”

Gary isn’t like that. According to the source, he has never seen the show, which is why Amber reportedly feels that she can finally date in the way she’s always wanted to.

Amber herself has not yet talked about Gary on her social media.

Amber Welcomed Her First Child in 2008

Amber’s new boyfriend is not the first Gary she has dated. She used to be in a relationship with Gary Shirley. Their relationship was documented on 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom.

The former couple welcomed their daughter, Leah, in November 2008. Amber and Gary got engaged, but things didn’t last.

Their relationship wasn’t very stable. They had several fights – and some even turned physical. Eventually, the two of them broke off their engagement and decided to go their separate ways.

Gary gained full custody of their daughter in 2011. He later married his current wife, Kristina Anderson, in 2015. The two also welcomed their daughter, Emilee Grace, that same year.

These days, Amber and Gary are amicably co-parenting Leah, according to an Us Weekly source.

Amber Will Never Stop Fighting for Her Children

From 2014 to 2017, Amber dated Matt Baier, whom she met on social media. The two of them even got engaged. However, they broke up after three years together.

Soon after, People confirmed that Matt married his current wife, Jennifer Conlon, in Las Vegas.

Amber welcomed her second child in May 2018. She had her son James with her ex, Andrew Glennon. At the time, Amber told Us Weekly that Andrew was an amazing man who loved taking care of James. She said that it was almost perfect.

However, their relationship didn’t last, either.

According to Indy Star, Amber was arrested in the summer of 2019. She pleaded guilty to two charges of DV and intimidation. The pair broke up after that.

In 2022, Andrew was granted full custody of their son James. Amber was devastated when she found out about the ruling. She told Us Weekly: “I’ll never stop fighting for my children, who I love more than anything.”

These days, Andrew and James live in California, while Amber lives in Indiana, where her new boyfriend, Gary, also lives.

Why Gypsy Rose is a Master Manipulator

Photo credit: Gypsy Rose Blanchard/Instagram

A new interview just exposed Gypsy Rose Blanchard in a seriously crazy and unusual way. She may be more like her mom than anyone realizes.

But this time, her victim might just be her husband, Ryan. In the interview snippet, which went viral on TikTok, Gypsy appears to be controlling Ryan the entire time. She keeps her hand on his arm — and not to be affectionate or loving towards her husband.

Gypsy Rose’s Body Language Reveals She Controls Ryan

In fact, it seems like it’s actually the opposite. It seems like she’s using her hand to control what he says to the woman who’s interviewing them. Whenever he says something that she doesn’t like or doesn’t want him to say, you can see that she nudges him. And instantly, Ryan stops talking.

But really, that’s just the tip of the iceberg…Because if you keep watching, she doesn’t just stop at nudging him…

At one point, the interviewer starts asking about Gypsy’s education. And when she does, Ryan starts answering that Gypsy didn’t go to school, which is true. Nothing about that statement is false: Gypsy didn’t go to school.

But when he responds, Gypsy actually whispers at him to shut up. Why? Is she self-conscious about the fact that she has no education? Does she want people to think that she’s more educated than she actually is?

I mean, it would make sense if she was worried that people are going to think that she’s different or weird because she didn’t go to school.

And she’s lived a whole lifetime of being considered different and weird because of everything her mom put her through. So it would make sense if this is something that she’s extra sensitive to.

But it seems like it’s much more dark and twisted than that.

Because when you look at Gypsy, you can see the anger behind her eyes when she does all of these things to Ryan. She goes from putting up a bright and cheery front to instantly switching to a dark and angry look behind her eyes.

Is Gypsy Rose Manipulating the World Just Like Her Mom?

Just a few seconds later she switches back to a big, fake smile, which has everyone wondering: Is Gypsy manipulating the entire world, just like her mom?

Think about it…This is literally all Gypsy has ever known. She was never socialized in the real world. All she’s ever known is her mom’s manipulation to get what she wanted. If anything, that was Gypsy’s education growing up.

And the weirdest thing about this interview is that everything she was nudging him about are things that she’s already talked about publicly.So why does she suddenly have a problem with it?

It honestly seems like she’s trying to distance herself from her previous life as much as possible. She wants everyone to forget what she did to her mom, even downplaying her involvement and trying to play the victim.

It seems like she’s completely forgotten that the only reason that anyone knows who she is is because of what she did to her mom. But because she’s clearly trying to leave her old life behind, you have to wonder, when will she leave Ryan behind?

Yes…When…Not if…Because after that interview, it seems like it’s only a matter of time.

Gypsy and Ryan Almost Ended Their Marriage

What a lot of people don’t know is just how much Gypsy and Ryan have been hiding from the public. In fact, you would really only know this little-known fact about just how bad their relationship is if you were a super fan of hers in 2022.

You might remember that Gypsy and Ryan got married in July of 2022. Whenever they talk about their marriage, they make sure to say that they’re not actually newlyweds, because they’ve been married for over a year.

But obviously, they weren’t able to live like a married couple until very recently, and things weren’t as perfect as they wanted us to believe when Gypsy was still behind bars.

Because just four months after their wedding, Gypsy shared a letter with a fan page of hers, and you’ll never believe what that letter said.

It read: “It is with a heavy heart that this morning I made a decision to go ahead and file for annulment and end my marriage with Ryan. My marriage ends with no fault to either of us. I believe we are just in different places in our lives, and find it too difficult to walk a path together, at this point.”

But then, nothing happened. She never filed for the annulment. and it seems that they were able to get past the rough patch that began so soon after their marriage started.

But now, they’re living as a married couple for the first time — something that they’ve never gotten to do before.

Because their entire previous relationship was when Gypsy was behind bars. And worse yet, they only have each other. They’re constantly together. Ryan lost his job as a special education teacher because of his high-profile relationship with Gypsy. And, because of that, Ryan does nothing but follow Gypsy around to her interviews all day.

They’re literally always together, which seems like it’s just a recipe for disaster, especially when Gypsy decides to ditch Ryan once and for all.

Ryan Isn’t the Only Man Gypsy Got Engaged To In Prison

Ryan isn’t the only man Gypsy got engaged to while she was behind bars. According to multiple sources, this was Gypsy’s pattern when she was in prison: She would start relationships with and get engaged to men who would write her letters for attention and then cast them to the side when she found someone new.

And it’s not like Gypsy and Ryan could really get to know each other while she was behind bars. So how well could they know each other really?

And it only gets messier, because there are actually multiple reports that Gypsy has never been in therapy. She hasn’t processed the loss of her mother at all, or anything that happened to her, or why she is the way that she is.

These are all things that she desperately needs to do in order to live a halfway normal life, but it doesn’t seem like she has any interest in doing so at all.

She just wants to go on as though nothing happened, and that she lived a normal life, and went to school, and didn’t have a hand in ending the life of her mom.

But that’s just not the case at all… And the longer that she goes without processing that and figuring out how to change her behavior, the longer that she’s going on manipulating the entire world.

Because this isn’t something that just started. Even at her trial, Gypsy manipulated everyone. And we know that she hasn’t gone through therapy to work on that psychological torment. This makes it pretty obvious that she only said those things in court to get everyone to feel bad for her and give her a lesser sentence.

Gypsy Went Silent and Stopped Doing Interviews

It’s starting to seem more and more obvious that Gypsy is aware that everyone’s starting to wake up to her manipulation, though. Because almost immediately after that interview came out, where Gypsy nudged Ryan over and over again and told him to shut up, she went radio silent on social media.

Like she was aware that the public perception of her was changing. Because, think about it: When everyone was fangirling over Gypsy, she was everywhere.

She was doing interviews and making jokes that were going viral. But then the second that people started to call her out, she went completely silent on social media and stopped doing interviews.

So is she just scared that people are starting to hate her? Or are she and Ryan just having a ton of problems?

After that awkward interview, it definitely seems like anything could be possible.

NBA Star Jimmy Butler To Make Country Album

Jimmy Butler is a standout forward for the Miami Heat, but Jimmy is making moves—or more like sounds—off the court because this NBA star is also getting into country music.

Jimmy first talked about creating country music well over a year ago, and to date, he’s produced sixty tracks that could be included on a country album. But Jimmy has a bigger goal in mind. Ultimately, he wants to record 200 country music songs.

Jimmy talked about his musical endeavor with The Guardian, and he made another thing perfectly clear. While Jimmy is creating and producing these country music tracks, that doesn’t mean he’s doing any singing.

Jimmy told The Guardian, “I’m like the DJ Khaled of this thing.” Jimmy is inspired by how “crazy talented” DJ Khaled is. He added, “To bring all these artists together and to have them be able to maintain the egos and be like, ‘Yo, look, this is what we’re trying to get done here.” 

He believes that DJ Khaled has “mastered” that method in his genre of music. Jimmy wants to bring that formula to his country project as a writer and producer. He’s already pulled in some serious talent to sing his original country songs.

According to Taste of Country, Jimmy shared one of his self-produced country tracks on social media. This catchy song features Breland on vocals.

Jimmy’s song received over 34,000 likes—and counting—on Instagram. He captioned his audio clip with, “@breland was here!! y’all better buy my album.”

“Don’t Take the Girl” Sparked Jimmy’s Love of Country Music

Jimmy is from Tomball, Texas, on the outskirts of Houston. While he’s become an avid country music fan, it’s interesting to note that Jimmy’s decision to make country music started because of a practical joke.

Taste of Country reported that in 2021, Jimmy began listening to country music during his pregame warmups. He knew very little about current country music, so Jimmy searched online for “best country songs.” The number one search result was “Don’t Take the Girl” by Tim McGraw. Jimmy said he just went with it.

But Jimmy also confessed that he only played country music on his headphones to shock reporters and fellow players. He knew that no one expected him to be into country music, and Jimmy figured the joke would be on them. 

But then Jimmy confessed that he really started listening to the lyrics of songs like “Don’t Take the Girl.” He said, “I was like, ‘Damn, poor kids, poor guy.’”

Then, something truly unexpected happened to Jimmy. He began searching online for more “top country songs,” and Jimmy grew to love country music.

That’s when Jimmy set a goal to make a country album. He wanted to prove to himself that he could reach that goal.

But Jimmy has admitted in the Guardian interview that the experience has been humbling. He realizes now that so many people in the country music space initially think, “Man, I can do that,” and make a hit country song.

But Jimmy said, “You really don’t know how difficult it is.” The good news is, Jimmy said he has “all these songs on the back burner.” He admitted, “It’s fun, and I do love it, but my goodness, it’s difficult.”

Jimmy Butler Talks About His Coffee Company

NBA fans should be glad that Jimmy has no plans to give up professional basketball. He’s a six-time All-Star who’s been compared to NBA legends like Michael Jordan.

Jimmy has played in two NBA finals over the last four years, but when he’s off the court, he prefers to talk about his country music goals and also his coffee company. Several years ago, Jimmy started his Bigface coffee brand.

He said he’s taken “origin trips” to coffee-bean-growing regions in Peru and Columbia. Jimmy revealed, “I wanted to learn what it really takes to make coffee. I’m talking from the ground up.”

If you didn’t know how Jimmy came up with the idea for Bigface coffee, he conceived the idea during the pandemic when the NBA played in the Disney World Bubble. Jimmy started brewing his Bigface coffee in his Disney hotel room. His fellow players became his first customers at $20 per cup.

Nia Long’s Custody Battle Finalized

Nia Long and her ex-fiance have reached a settlement over custody in their divorce proceedings. People Magazine reported on January 23 that Nia and NBA coach Ime Udoka have finalized their agreement regarding custody and child support for their son, Kez.

Court documents obtained by People have reportedly shown that Nia will have sole physical custody of the twelve-year-old. However, it was also reported that both parents will continue to share joint legal custody, with Ime being afforded reasonable visitation with their son.

People reported that the reason given in the documents for this decision was Ime’s need to travel with the Houston Rockets during and around the NBA season. The documents read, “Udoka shall have reasonable visitation with Kes, which may take into consideration Kez’s schedule and concerns.” “But,” it continued, “shall not prevent or interfere with Kez’s visitation with Udoka.” 

People also reported that Ime will be responsible for Kez’s travel expenses during visitation around the NBA season. In addition, Ime will pay for his son’s nanny to transport him.

The document went on to assert that “if the parties are unable to agree upon Udoka’s visitation,” they would have to consult Kez’s “treating therapist.” The therapist would then “encourage the visits with Udoka” and inform both parents of what was best for Kez.

People reported that Nia and Ime would share or alternate holidays with their son. Ime will be allowed “up to three non-consecutive weeks of vacation time with Kez each year.” Nia will also reportedly receive $32,000 per month in child support from her ex.

Nia Continues to Focus on Her Children

The settlement has come at the end of a long, drawn-out breakup between the former couple.

Nia filed for legal and physical custody of their son last August. The filing came eight months after the couple ended their 13-year relationship in December 2022. Documents related to Nia’s filing were later obtained by Entertainment Tonight

In the documents, Nia reportedly requested that Ime have “reasonable visitation” as long it was “consistent with the child’s best interests.” However, People reported that Nia had alleged in her filing for custody that her former partner had “failed” to support their child, who they welcomed in 2011.

The former couple got engaged in 2015 but called things off seven years later. Their split followed Ime’s suspension as head coach of the Boston Celtics for an alleged affair with a co-worker.

When news of their breakup became public, Nia issued a statement to People. She said, “The outpouring of love and support” she had received meant so much to her. She went on to say, “Above all, I am a mother and will continue to focus on my children.”

Following the settlement of her custody battle, Nia appears to be able to focus on raising her youngest son. Ime, meanwhile, stated last April that he was taking part in counseling with his son “to help him improve the situation that I put him in.”
